The members of the Columbia Snow Shoe

i'll the competition between floats yester-
day as unjust, and last night were talking
OF filing protest. They claim
that the judges made the awards
on the theory that the
floats that had participated in all the
parades of the week were first entitled to
prizes, and that the awards were not given
for the display made yesterday at all.
Lieut.. Hamilton, speaking to a
GLOBE reporter of the matter last
night, said that the Columbus
were assured by President MaXfield
that the awards should be made solely on
the display made yesterday. I'VE claim -
continued Mr.. Hamilton. ''that inasmuch
as our float was mathematical of carnival
sports. we were entitled to the first prize,
as the Windsor float. while vely pretty was
emblematical of nothing. If the judges did
not make the awards on the display made

Speaking of this last night. General Man
ager Van Slyke said that if the previous APP
pearances were taken into the account it was
wrong. The prizes had been announced
be awarded solely on the appearance made
yesterday. 1t had been so announced and
if any other basis of judging were adopted
it was wholly unauthorized and would not
be cOuntenanced. 1t is stated, however,
that the judges acted simply on the basis
prescribed by Mr.. Van Slyck.

I'm the Curling EEonspiel the Prizes
Seem to be ding Out of the States
In the curling bonspiel yesterday the
contest for individual points was begun,
playing down for the East VS.. West cup
was reduced to four Kinks from Manitoba
and the final game for the grand carnival
prize was played. On the previous day
the playing down for the carnival prize was
reduced to three Kinks. Wells and Sparkling
had both drawn bye and consequently
played game in the evening which re-
suited:
Kinks NO. 1.

This left the Kinks of Wells, of Portage.
Wis, and Fraser, of Winnipeg, to fight the
battle out, and as it was kpOwr that this
would be game not only for stake but
of extremely good curling, every curler was
anxious to see it. On account of T. j.
Wells having fallen on the ice the day
previous and suffering some injury. his
| place was taken in the rink by j. c. And
erSon, who arrived yesterday morning from
| Portage, SO the men were exactly the
same as before. The final game in the
contest was begun at 2 o'clock. All the
Wisconsin curriers' were. of course. in svm-
pathy with Wells, while the Winnipeg men
were enthusiastic for Fraser. After watch
ing few ends, the general comment was

ton, and one seldom failed to go just where
it was intended to 90. After eleven ends
the score was Wells 10. Fraser IL; after
| fourteen ends it was Wells II, Fraser 10.
made except by hard work and shrewd
| management. At this stage the Kinks of
Chisholm and Patterson, who were playing
down for the other prize, adjourned their
game To see the other, and
the contest for points was about
as thlnly attended as possible.
After seventeen ends the game stood IA to
IA. consequently the whole contest for the
carnival prize depended on four ends in the
game. AS every stone went down the ice.
ii was watched eagerly by all and rejoicing
or regret from the crowd greeted its arrival.
The general impression was that 1t was a

and that Fraser kept the cooler of the two.
He held cigar in his mouth unlighted and
occasionally chewed it little. this being
the only indication of strain. His opponent
| seemed to be discouraged at times and
a trifle impatient, but held to his game.
On the eighteenth end Fraser scored two

TARIFF REDUCTION.
A Definite Plan Said to Have Been Agree
Upon by the Majority.

A Definite Plan Said to Have Been Agreed
Upon by the Majority.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-That there is to
be Il definite plan Of tariff reduction sub
mitted to Congress there can be no doubt
The plan will be recommended in the Pres
dents message, and outlined in the report
of the Secretary of the Treasury, and will
have had the previous approval of Mr.. Car
Isle and of other Democratic leaders who
will represent the Democratic majority in
the House. What the details of the plan
will be it Is not yet possible to determine.
There can be no doubt, however. that the
general policy ha- been determined upon,
and that it involves reduction both IN
internal reveGue and in customs duties.
The Committee on Ways and Means will
undou 5tedly lie constituted by Carlisle so
that the Administrative policy will at least
be submitted to the House in an authorita-
tive form as a consideration. Carlisle has
already said that he expects the session of
Congress will continue until August. Car
isles position as to the reduction of the
surplus and taxation is well understood,
and has not materially changed since the
last Congress. He thinks there should De
a reduction Of at least So, 600, 600 in the
revenue. He would favor the abolition OF
the tax on manufactured tobacco, not in
Guiding cigars and cigarettes. He is not
disposed to make any further reduction of
the tobacco tax and will oppose any reduc-
ton of the tax on whisky. He is also OPP
pOsed to the reduction of the duty on sugar.

A Bridge Across the Channel.

Now that the Channel tunnel scheme
has been knocked on the head, an en-
deavor is to be made-so the French
engineering journals say-to build a
bridge over the Straits of Dover. We
have heard something of the kind be-
fore, but the world is now favored with
few details of this interesting project.
The bridge would start from point on
the French coast between Cape Grisnez
and Ambleteuse, and end at Folke-
stone. 1t would be thirty-ive Kill
ometers in length. would cost milliard
to build, and would be completed in
seven years. 1t would be high enough
for the largest vessels to pass beneath
it, and Gin time of war it could easily
be blown up" NJ. Hersent, who had
a good deal to do with the cutting of
the Suez Canal, is said to be the
sponsor of this wild scheme.-St.

CAN'T GO BEHIND THEM.

There is great intensity of the physical
condition sometimes, and there are facts
which we cannot 60 behind. In illustra-
ton further of facts which settle the points
of a prompt and permanent cure, the fol-
lowing cases are cited: In 1884 Mrs. Mary
X. Sheed suffered terribly with chronic
neuralgia She writes from ITO Maryland
Avenue Washington, d. c. In the first in
stance she states II suffered terribly with
neuralgia in the face; very severe attack
extending to back and shoulders; suffered
intensely. Tried St. Jacobs Oil; had parts
well rubbed at night; IN the morning all
pain gone, magically." June 10, 1887, she
writes from "a Eleventh Street, s. W., as
follows: -Four years ago sent you vol
untary certificate setting forth the fact that
had been q great sufferer with neuralgia in
my face, neck and shoulders. / obtained a
bottle Of st. Jacobs Oil, and after three ap-
plications l was entirely relieved from all
pain, and from that time to- the present 1
have never had a return. The effect was
miraculous" Again, Feb. 6, 1887, Mr.. r.
G. Troll, st. Louis Mo-, writes: I'm March.
1881, suffered terribly with neuralgia !; had
suffered nearly three years. Applied St
Jacobs Oil at SIS A. NJ. at $40 took the
rag off; at 8 A. NJ. went to work. In less
than five minutes after that the pain was
not had return of it since" Mr.. T.. W..
Spangler, York, Pa, June II, 1887, writes:
''Y ears ago had neuralgia am not subject to
it now. The cure by the use of st. Jacobs
Oil was permanent. There has been no re-
currencc Of the painful affection" Chas.
w. Law, Jr., Pottstown, Pa, April 10, 1887,
writes: WAS troubled for years with reu-
Oil; had tried different kinds of remedies
without effect. One bottle of the former did the
business No return of pain and aches" In
almost every instance the reports are the same.
